400 mg 1 time daily. This medication is SCARY! It makes her speech slurred, she's dizzy, and it makes her sleepy. I don't like it, but if it helps her go from having 40 pseudoseizures down to 25, down to 12, down to 4, down to 1 pseudoseizure a day, then I guess we'll have to deal with it then wont we!
